Sitting in the Split airport

Our 8 day sea kayak trip in Croatia's Kornati National Park ended today. It was an amazing trip, wonderful kayaking and perfect weather. We paddled under high cliffs on a sea so clear you could see 20 feet down. Every morning started with coffee Crostian-style, meaning strong and sweet. We then paddled all day, stopping to stretch our legs, visit Rpman ruins and eat lunch on the beach . Some nights we slept in tents and some nights we slept on the beach, lulled to sleep by the lapping of waves. No wifi, no TV. Our novice paddler became a powerhouse and our small group of five a closeknit community. And now I 'm waiting for a plane to fly back to London so I can sleep five hours before flying to Bulgaria, away from the sea and back to mountains.
